Refugee All Stars

"When two elephants are fighting, the grass dem' a-suffer."

I just saw a documentary on PBS Point of View (POV) called Sierra Leone's Refugee All Stars. It was made by Zach Niles and Banker White. It is an amazing story of survival, and success. A group of refugee's come together as musicians that work at perfecting their songs, share a powerful message, and are able to touch the world. It is refreshing to see a story about Africa that is uplifting and empowering despite it's basis in war. Thank you Zach, Banker, and the All Stars!

In addition, PBS and Sierra Leone's Refugee All Stars are charting out interesting paths in the New Media world by providing viewers with the opportunity to make a Video Mash-Up music video using songs from the All Stars and video clips from the film and footage of the band on stage in Japan. Give it a shot, you could win an autographed CD and a T-shirt.
